As usual, Miana helped Bi Num prepare her trade. Although already wearing an OSIS uniform complete with existing attributes.
One tie dangled long to below the chest. While the legs are shock-clad in short white and the sports shoes are white.
Bi Num finished storing egg balado in rectangular shaped stainless steel container. Unasked, Miana brought him to the front of the house. He put it on a square table and then went back inside the house.
"Sopnya just love salt, Ma'am," said Bi Num reminded.
"Yes, Bi." Miana immediately gave a few tablespoons of salt into the pot. Not forgetting he checked the taste after stirring it.
"Ouch. How to get to the pickle, yeah," complained Miana.
Bi Num who was arranging mendoan and thymus in a container, rushed to Miana. "Try, Bi Num, taste test!"
Bi Num took a spoon and then he put a little sauce on the palm of his hand and started to taste the taste. "Eh, yes, Ma'am," said Bi Num a little surprised. "Usually, Mia's mom is always right, about taste. This is weird." Bi Num immediately gives additional water so that the saltiness is not too over taste.
"Sorry, Bi," said Miana.
"Eh, it's okay." Bi Num glanced at her master's son. The smile rising remained there to unravel Miana's guilt.
"Ehm, usually, this. Said Bi Num, in the village first. If a virgin cooks the salty truss it is a sign of wanting marriage loh. "Bi Num reveals the Javanese myth that is often a joke in his hometown.
"Ah, time' is it, Bi?" search Miana. "But Miana's still in school, you know, this."
"Yes. Or maybe Mia is in love" Bi Num said. With still blushing, Bi Num rubbed the tissue on the large bowl.
"Huh? That's right," muttered Miana.
"Mother Mia is in love, apparently."
Tetiba searing face ketus nan flat flashed in Miana's mind. As of now, Arga has no intention of replying to his message. Miana has even apologized, even though through chat and voice messages, if accidentally done wrong to Arga. However, there are. Arga still remained indifferent.
"Dreamy, right'," Bi Num's goda breaks Miana's daydreams.
Not wanting Bi Num to guess any further, Miana gushed back on the lodeh vegetable that had just been poured in a container.
"Miana help me take this forward, yes, Bi." Miana switched on one container of vegetable lodeh. Without waiting for Bi Num's answer.
Just stepped out the curtain. Miana was shocked by the presence of Sisil who was about to enter the kitchen.
"Akhh," complained Miana. The heat and burning felt on his left arm. Luckily some vegetables did not spill on his other body.
"Sister," cried Sisil. "Sil, accidentally, sister," Sisil regretted while helping Miana clean up the remaining sauce in Miana's hands.
Bi Num quickly approached the commotion and took over the vegetable container from Miana's hand. Miranti and Surya also come to Miana who is now sitting while blowing her burning hand.
"Why can this be, Mia." Surya looks more panicked when he sees Miana just grimacing to endure the pain.
"Don't flush the water, brother! Hold a sec!" Sisil passed to his room.
Although some of the hands were reddened and the pain was so pronounced, Miana ignored that. He was more touched when Surya who joined to shake hands and Sisil looked panicked.
Sisil passed away to his room and returned with a tube pack. In view of the packaging, it is clear that it is aloe vera cream.
"On this pit, Brother." Sisil's hand quickly grabbed Miana's hand and smeared on the reddened part of the hand. "Simply for a moment, but it won't blister, kok, Sis,"
"Ssssshh," hissed Miana held up a sting. He did not cry, but his eyes were teary.
The thing that Miana did not expect back made her fixated on the seat.
"Num! From now on, mending you do not have to sell anymore," cried Miranti impassively.
"Look at Miana getting hurt because every morning help you," Miranti snapped to Bi Num. Hands ruffled waist with eyes like they want to jump out.
Panic has not subsided, Bi Num is now increasingly depressed guilt. He can't do much, he can only fear. "Sorry, Nyah."
"Sorry you can't make Miana's pain disappear!" Miranti is exploding.
"Ma, Miana is okay," said Miana to calm the mother.
"Udahlah, Ma. This mom even got rowdy." Surya was also disturbed to hear the shrill voice of his wife.
"Sorry, Nyah. I know, I'll take Mia's mother for treatment." Sad heart could not hide Bi Num. Even though Miana said it was okay.
"No need. You better not sell anymore. You intentionally want to be ugly in my image. Let the neighbors know that you're looking for extra money because I can't afford your salary."
Bi Num is now sobbing. "It's not so, Nyah."
"You think I don't know! Surely you're ghibahin me in front of the mothers of the complex here right!"
"I don't, Nyah," tepis Bi Num.
"Ma. That's ,Ma. Why go anywhere, anyway." Surya tried to calm Miranti.
"Light up, Pa. If Miana's hands don't blister. We will not be tired of spending money for treatment, right! We can use the money for other purposes!"
"Ma, money can be found. Why, the hell, this mama." Surya was still patiently calming his wife.
Miana looked up at Miranti's words. "Ma, uh,"
"Please. Miana's. This time it was with my mom. Until when do you defy your mother!"
"Enough, Nyah. Don't yell at Mia anymore. Even if I was just his nanny. I'm in pain to see the mistress' treatment on Mia's mother."
Plakk.
Miranti slapped Bi Num. Surya and Miana moved from her seat.
Miana directly approached Bi Num and cupped both of her cheeks. "Bi Num, sorry." Miana forgot her sore hand. He still calmed Ms. Num who was already crying.
"Ma, mama why, anyway! Bi Num is not wrong, Ma," martial Miana.
"Mirand. If you have a problem. Don't expose it to others. Papa told you to be patient, ma."
"Patience, Papa says! Papa doesn't know how tormented mama can't get together mama's friend, Pa! Should be, Papa, no now. Papa can't be happy with my mom. Think, Pa!"
"Ma–"
"Enough, Pa. Mama wants you to ask Bi Num not to work here again. If you don't want to, better mama get out of here." Miranti murmured and went back into the room following Surya.
Bi Num is still in the wrap fretting, while out there his customers are waiting. You can make sure they also hear the commotion that occurs in the house.
Miana is now also sobbing in the arms of Bi Num. While Sisil could only sit still in his place.
"Udah, Ms. Mia. Auntie is okay. Now we go to the doctor, yeah. There's still time before school." Bi Num switched to Sisil. "Non Sisil too, yeah. Aunty apologized if many wronged the same non Sisil," explained Bi Num and Sisil nodded in response.

After Miana finished her doctor's examination at a nearby clinic, she quickly complied when Bi Num accompanied her to wait for public transport for her.
With Miana's hands almost blistered, he could not take the motor when he went to the clinic or to school. Public transport is her choice.
"Mother Mia, are you sure you can go to school?" ask Bi Num and get a nod.
"School also lives, Bi. Thanks yeah,"
"Don't work, first, yeah. Let's get his hands healed."
"Yes, Bi. After school, Miana went straight home."
"Auntie's sorry, yeah. Because of aunt mama and papa so noisier."
Miana shook her head quickly. "It's not Aunt's fault. Papa Sama is indeed lately noisier because of money. Papa was also angry when he found out Miana was working and blamed mama for this, Bi. Moreover, Bibi knew for herself, Miana could not give mama any more money. Be the mama to vent on anyone's frustration."
"Patient, yes." Bi Num patted Miana's shoulder fondly. "And never argue with your mother and continue to be a good boy. Pray for mama and Sisil to soften his heart."
"Yes, Bi."
"One more, never hate the same Non Sisil. Mbak Mia's job is to restore her gentle demeanor like she used to."
"Miana never hated Sisil, Bi."
"Yes. You guys should get along well, yeah."
Miana was more and more amazed by Bi Num who continued to give her good advice.
''That's the angkot coming." Bi Num immediately stood up to wave at the approaching freight.
"Miana said goodbye, Bi."
Bi Num hugged Miana back and could not hold back her eyes that blurred due to tears that forced her out.
"Bi, Miana's not papa, really. Bi Num kok even cry, anyway," said Miana while breaking a hug.
Bi Num nodded and did not want to make any more noise. Afraid that he would sob and make his employer's child not go to school. Remembering the softness of Miana's heart.
Miana smiled as she entered the transport . From inside the carriage that was slowly moving away, Miana waved at Bi Num who was hugging herself on the sidewalk.
Until the sound of the transportation occupants distract him from Bi Num which is now no longer visible. "Why hands, Neng?"
"Because of the vegetable sauce, ma'am," replied Miana.
"Ohh, little late. It must be getting blistering, huh."
"Alhamdulillah's been medicated, ma'am."
"Kan, baby. Beautiful - beautiful hands there are scars, later," said the other mothers.
Miana just smiled to appreciate those who seemed to sympathize with her injuries."
